The most TCDD-sensitive and the most TCDD-resistant rat strains (Long-Evans [Turku/AB] and Han/Wistar [Kuopio], respectively) were crossbred to separate the alleles of two genes (Ahrand an unidentified gene "B") mediating resistance against TCDD toxicity. During crossbreeding, a new type of toxicity...
